1 John 2:2 KJV 2 And he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole
world.

John 3:16 KJV 16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hebrews 2:9 KJV 9 But we see Jesus, who was
made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with

man.

Romans 1:18-20 KJV 18 For the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known
of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the
invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Romans 2:14-16 KJV 14 For when the Gentiles,
which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these,
having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of
the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and
their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according
to my gospel.

All
Things to All Men

Acts 16:1-3 KJV 1 Then came he to Derbe and
Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son
of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was
a Greek: 2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra
and Iconium. 3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised
him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that
his father was a Greek.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 KJV 19 For though I be
free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might
gain the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain
the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might
gain them that are under the law; 21 To them that are without law, as without
law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I
might gain them that are without law. 22 To the weak became I as weak, that
I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all
means save some. 23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be
partaker thereof with you.

Acts 21:17-26 KJV 17 And when we were come
to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 And the day following Paul
went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 19 And when
he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought
among the Gentiles by his ministry. 20 And when they heard it, they glorified
the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews
there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: 21 And they
are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the
Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their
children, neither to walk after the customs. 22 What is it therefore? the
multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow
on them; 24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with
them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things,
whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself
also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. 25 As touching the Gentiles which
believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save
only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood,
and from strangled, and from fornication. 26 Then Paul took the men, and
the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify
the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should
be offered for every one of them.

Galatians 1:8-9 KJV 8 But though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now
again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received,
let him be accursed.

Philippians 2:5-11 KJV 5 Let this mind be in
you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought
it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of
men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things
in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Christs
Method Alone

Revelation 14:6-7 KJV 6 And I saw another angel
fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto
them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue,
and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;
for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Ellen
G. White, The Ministry of Healing, p143

And while the world is filled with these evils,
the gospel is too often presented in so indifferent a manner as to make but
little impression upon the consciences or the lives of men. Everywhere there
are hearts crying out for something which they have not. They long for a
power that will give them mastery over sin, a power that will deliver them
from the bondage of evil, a power that will give health and life and peace.
Many who once knew the power of God's word have dwelt where there is no
recognition of God, and they long for the divine presence. {MH 143.1}

The world needs
today what it needed nineteen hundred years ago--a revelation of Christ.
A great work of reform is demanded, and it is only through the grace of Christ
that the work of restoration, physical, mental, and spiritual, can be
accomplished. {MH 143.2}

Christ's method
alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled
with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them,
ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, "Follow
Me." {MH 143.3}

There is need
of coming close to the people by personal effort. If less time were given
to sermonizing, and more time were spent in personal ministry, greater results
would be seen. The poor are to be relieved, the sick cared for, the sorrowing
and the bereaved comforted, the ignorant instructed, the inexperienced counseled.
We are to weep with those that weep, and rejoice with those that rejoice.
Accompanied by (p. 144) the power of persuasion, the power of prayer, the
power of the love of God, this work will not, cannot, be without fruit. {MH
143.4}

Ellen
G. White, The Desire of Ages, p.
638

All who have been born into the heavenly family
are in a special sense the brethren of our Lord. The love of Christ binds
together the members of His family, and wherever that love is made manifest
there the divine relationship is revealed. "Everyone that loveth is born
of God, and knoweth God." 1 John 4:7. {DA 638.1}

Those whom Christ
commends in the judgment may have known little of theology, but they have
cherished His principles. Through the influence of the divine Spirit they
have been a blessing to those about them. Even among the heathen are those
who have cherished the spirit of kindness; before the words of life had fallen
upon their ears, they have befriended the missionaries, even ministering
to them at the peril of their own lives. Among the heathen are those who
worship God ignorantly, those to whom the light is never brought by human
instrumentality, yet they will not perish. Though ignorant of the written
law of God, they have heard His voice speaking to them in nature, and have
done the things that the law required. Their works are evidence that the
Holy Spirit has touched their hearts, and they are recognized as the children
of God. {DA 638.2}

How surprised
and gladdened will be the lowly among the nations, and among the heathen,
to hear from the lips of the Saviour, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me"! How glad will
be the heart of Infinite Love as His followers look up with surprise and
joy at His words of approval! {DA 638.3}

But not to any
class is Christ's love restricted. He identifies Himself with every child
of humanity. That we might become members of the heavenly family, He became
a member of the earthly family. He is the Son of man, and thus a brother
to every son and daughter of Adam. His followers are not to feel themselves
detached from the perishing world around them. They are a part of the great
web of humanity; and Heaven looks upon them as brothers to sinners as well
as to saints. The fallen, the erring, and the sinful, Christ's love embraces;
and every deed of kindness done to uplift a fallen soul, every act of mercy,
is accepted as done to Him. {DA 638.4}

Ellen
G. White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 458

Every gospel
worker should feel that the giving of instruction in the principles of healthful
living, is a part of his appointed work. Of this work there is great need,
and the world is open for it. {CD 458.1} (1905) M.H. 130

790. The requirements
of God must be brought home to the conscience. Men and women must be awakened
to the duty of self-mastery, the need of purity, freedom from every depraving
appetite and defiling habit. They need to be impressed with the fact that
all their powers of mind and body are the gift of God, and are to be preserved
in the best possible condition for His service. {CD 458.2}

Follow the Saviour's Methods (1905) M.H.
143, 144

(p. 791). Christ's method alone will
give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled with men as
one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to
their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, "Follow Me." {CD
458.3}

There is need

We should ever
remember that the object of the medical missionary work is to point sin-sick
men and women to the Man of Calvary, who taketh away the sin of the world.
By beholding Him, they will be changed into His likeness. We (p. 459) are
to encourage the sick and suffering to look to Jesus and live. Let the workers
keep Christ, the Great Physician, constantly before those to whom disease
of the body and soul has brought discouragement. Point them to the One who
can heal both physical and spiritual disease. Tell them of the One who is
touched with the feeling of their infirmities. Encourage them to place themselves
in the care of Him who gave His life to make it possible for them to have
life eternal. Talk of His love; tell of His power to save. {CD 458.5}
